> Newton coined 'Calculus,'

Minor point, but the term "calculus" was in use before Newton's "fluxions" to refer to various mathematical systems, just as we still have Lambda calculus, etc. Leibniz used the term in his approach, iirc.

Thanks for reviewing. Fixed the discrepancy, hopefully made it better.
